Get a borehole and get a reliable source of water all year round. We guarantee quality workmanship and customer satisfaction!
How does the water detection and borehole drilling process work?
We used highly specialised equipment to map the hydrologic and geologic features of the ground on your property. This allows us to detect water and determine the depth as well obstacles that can prevent efficient water extraction. Without this step drilling for water is like playing the Lotto.
Once we have established that there is water (as well as the approximate depth) we do a comprehensive needs analysis to determine what size borehole will meet your needs. This info coupled with the type of pump and storage solution is used to create a custom quote.
After the client has approved the job, we proceed with scheduling and then the drilling the borehole. Once we reach the ideal depth and find a suitable water source, we finalize the drilling process by casing the borehole, adding in a sump and clearing the borehole shaft of debris.
The yield test measures how much water the borehole delivers per hour and forms part of the certificate of compliance we need to issue. Banks and insurance companies require it to attach value to the borehole. It is also essential when selecting your borehole pump. Mismatching the yield and pump could be disastrous.
Once the borehole is ready and the yield test has been conducted, we match the right pump with the borehole to ensure optimal yield. Once the pump has been installed and tested, we connect it to your desired water storage solution or irrigation setup, and you can begin pumping water from the borehole.
Borehole water can be safe for human consumption but might need additional filtering to remove harmful particles and bacteria. To determine if the water is safe for human consumption, we send the water for laboratory testing. The results will provide us with the necessary insights to add additional filters to make it safe to drink.
